| Front or Back wall diffusers Thanks for sharing I think it's sound advice. I have never heard of a bass trap making a space feel larger...for me traps make my room feel smaller and more intimate. I have also never heard of putting diffusion directly behind a speaker. My tho... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers I would be embarrassed to show a picture as my room is such a cluttered mess (free diffusion, right?). Here are some good diagrams. https://www.audioholics.com/room-acoustics/room-acoustics-acoustic-treatments/room-acoustics-acoustic-treatments-... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers @seanheis1 @axo0oxa I’m seeing several people here advocating for diffusion over absorption. Are there any general rules as to when/where it’s better to use diffusion or absorption? I’m very interested and not clear on this at all. My guess is... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers It is recommended that the wall behind the speakers be reflective in nature, so that the sound develops properly. The wall behind the speakers is a distant reflection for most frequencies with box speakers...especially if you have a long room.... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers Talk to GIK. They’ll give you some good advice given your room and offer products that are relatively reasonably priced. IME GIK has great products that I purchase....but their advice has been the same as other pro-audio panel makers...and th... | |
| Used PS Audio Items The Music Room sells their trade in products is probably why. I purchased the PS Audio TRIO P200 preamp from TMR and couldn't be happier. PS Audio has a lot of brand loyalists and a good trade in program so there is definitely movement with that ... | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps Class D amps need a tube preamp or a solid state Class A input stage that adds 2nd order harmonic distortion to the signal. Linear power supplies can also add 2nd order harmonic distortion. If you get a stock module from Hypex or Ice Power with ... | |
| Salk Future TBD Even considering the fact that Salk was a small boutique brand, I am very surprised that he considered the total worth of the company to be 300k, and then lowered it to 100k, including equipment, designs and brand equity. they do after all have a... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. How is the sweet spot compared to Magnepan? With Magnepan it's too small for me with the tonal balance shifts. | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? Floyd Toole did listening tests to determine if listeners preferred absorption, diffusion, or bare wall at the first sidewall reflection point. Diffusion and bare wall were the most preferred....with absorption by far the least preferred for sid... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @erik_squires I encourage you to read about Hoffman's Iron Law. Can't have your cake and eat it too. ;-) https://www.salksound.com/blogtopic.php?id=3 | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Tekton Lores - $1200 VanAlstine SET 120 Power Amp $1200 Schiit REKKR Power Amp. 2 watts for a desktop or horns. $150 | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? The original Rega Kyte bookshelf speakers that were £200 sometime in the early 1990s. If it wasn’t for their lack of bass I’d still be using them. They had such natural timing and coherence that they made most others at the time sound somewhat ... | |
| KEF's meta material gimmick? The new series do seem to minimize brightness and metallic overtones, possibly at the expense of detail from what I have heard during demos. My guess is that the loss of detail would be due to frequency response shaping…less metallic soundi... | |
| KEF's meta material gimmick? I would ask, how is meta absorption better than using insulation type material behind tweeter? What do the Revel Salons and other engineering first reference speakers do to deal with tweeter backwave? Comparing LS50 Meta to non-Meta, the freq... |
